1.2.2 Server Guidelines
As you plan your space needs for these midrange servers in qualified equipment racks, keep these conditions in mind:
- Each midrange server requires its own power cords, connected to separate power outlets. See Chapter 2, Network Connection, Environmental, and Electrical Specifications for details on electrical requirements.
- Circuit breakers are supplied by the customer as required by local, state, or national electrical codes.
- Both midrange servers require electrical circuits that are grounded to earth.
1.2.2.1 Mounting Requirements
Both midrange servers are designed to be mounted in qualified equipment racks. For more detail on mounting requirements, refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Installation Guide for complete installation details and the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide for mounting requirements.
1.2.2.2 Size and Space Specifications
For maintenance access, refer to the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide for exact measurements.
FIGURE 1-3 shows an example of the maintenance access area for midrange servers in a qualified equipment rack.

1.2.2.3 Space for Thermal Clearance
Both midrange servers must maintain the minimum thermal distance between the rear of the server in an equipment rack, and any obstructions or walls. For thermal clearance requirements during operation, refer to the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide.
1.2.3 Access Route
If your existing loading dock meets height or ramp requirements for a standard freight carrier truck, you can use a pallet jack to unload the server. If not, you must provide a standard forklift or other means to unload the server, or request the server be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.
All servers not shipped in an equipment rack should be lifted only by proper computer-lifting equipment to prevent personal injury or damage to system equipment.
Each server that is not preinstalled in an equipment rack is shipped in a separate crate. A pallet jack is required to move each shipping crate to the server location.
Leave each server in its shipping crate until it reaches its final destination. If the crate does not fit through the planned access route, partially disassemble it.
The entire access route to your computer room should be free of raised patterns that can cause vibration. The route must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum door height
- Minimum elevator depth
- Maximum incline of 10 degrees
- Minimum elevator, pallet jack, and floor loading capacity
Refer to the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide for specific requirements for your equipment rack.
